The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Knightsbridge
When millions of tourists want to shop 'til they drop, they do it along Brompton Road and its boutique-lined tributaries, including the world-renowned Harrods. And when millionaires want to flaunt what they've already got, many of them find Knightsbridge and Belgravia the perfect place to do so, often behind stately mansion walls or down quiet private mews. Delve beyond the ultra-luxe exterior and you'll find some of this city's cosiest pubs, quiet gardens, and all sorts of indie retailers and enterprises worth a short exercise in spontaneous window shopping. For those looking to take a break from shopping, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, and some of the city's most popular museums are nearby.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My best friend and I visited Harrods for the first time yesterday. (Nov 28th 2024) It's hard to miss, especially now with their Workshop of Wonders themed Christmas decorations all over the building and in some of the shop windows.
It's definitely more an experience than a store! It was extremely busy and, although there were department signs by the ceiling telling you what was in that section, we didn't see a store map or list of departments. For someone unfamiliar with Harrods, I found the layout confusing and overwhelming. Luckily we had an idea of what we wanted to buy, so we asked a staff member who was able to point us in the right direction.
The staff are all very polite and smartly dressed, as you would expect from Harrods. There's so much to look at and waves of different aromas. It's all beautifully presented. You could easily have a day out here. We came across a restaurant with various eateries within it - including a chip shop.
I was surprised by the range of products that Harrods sell. They sell fresh produce like a supermarket does and items from all over the world that we'd never seen or heard of before, such as Japanese milk bread! You could even buy fresh pasta!
Unfortunately, the bags with Harrods written on them cost £20, so we weren't able to have one, but we'll certainly never forget shopping in there! It's another world and one which I think everyone should experience at least once. It's still fun to browse without making purchases and to take pictures outside the iconic frontage.

Totally over the top bordering on tacky but you have to love Harrods, are you actually visiting London like a true day tripper without a visit to this iconic landmark!!
Spoke to a super guy on the fresh tea counter, got some amazing orange earl grey tea, the smell was divine.
Three things we did notice:
1) thank the lord the new owners removed that incredibly awful memorial to Princess Di (I’m told it was removed in 2018, so shows you how often I visit the Capital.
2) its big, it’s totally huge we got lost so many times and be prepared for walls of people, and we visited late on a Monday night and still super busy
3) please note wheeled suitcases are not allowed, it would seem rucksacks are but not cases so we had to pay £5 per hour for the supermarket across the street to store it, we had the case as Harrods was the last stop before heading home on the train ! Have to say possibly the security guard could have done a better job than shouting “you cannot come in with that” as I walked through the door, so I asked was there a concierge service I could leave it with and he just said NO, granted he did with prompting say you can leave it with the supermarket over the road for a small charge ! Maybe a short trip to security guard finishing school wouldn’t go a miss for this young man !!

The temple of luxury. Must-visit in the basement for gourmets at tea-time especially to taste succulent pastries around the must-have drink of the country. A wonderful wine cellar with unique olfactory devices to discover the aromas of wines to buy. Luxury brands are present at all levels ....be careful not to overheat the credit card....

A leading UK department store with a wide range of clothing, groceries and beverages.
Tea is famous.
There was a grocery section in the basement, where Japanese fruits and vegetables were sold.
I went after 18:00 on weekdays, but anyway, the store was full of people, people, people. Because of its high profile, there were many tourists.
It wasn't sale time, but I took a closer look inside and saw that the tea items on sale were very cheap.
There were also upscale bars and restaurants in the store.

The freshly squeezed juice was the perfect start to my meal at Harrods Food Court, and the grilled chicken with creamy spinach and mashed potatoes was simply divine! Service was impeccable, and the luxurious ambiance added to the experience. If you visit, I highly recommend sitting near the bakery to enjoy the aroma of fresh croissants!

Harrods is a historic department store in London famous for luxury items. Each object is arranged with the utmost attention, the attention to detail is almost manic. The staff is elegantly dressed. Obviously luxury is paid for.... and therefore only a few people can afford some purchases.
All the big fashion brands are present. I was impressed to find some pianos for sale too!
You can get there easily from Harrods by tube on the Piccadilly Line.

A famous and iconic shopping venue but we found it wasn't very friendly for those who have limited mobility. There is absolutely NOWHERE to sit and the various small cafe options are not welcoming to people who aren't dressed correctly or don't want to drop $$$ for a couple of soft drinks, so keep that in mind. I can't even imagine what it would be like if you showed up in a wheelchair (the horror!). In short, a lovely place for "beautiful people" and able-bodied gawkers.

You should visit THE department store shortly after opening, when it is wonderfully empty and quiet and you can stroll leisurely. The staircase with the escalators resembles a museum, otherwise the architecture doesn't offer much. The selection is overwhelming and the shoe heaven is a dream. It is very interesting that this area had a lot of customers who more or less successfully struggled to find the most adventurous shoe creations. I found the hair and nail area disappointing, only the reception was designed to match the insane prices. The gift shop in the basement is now gigantic and well stocked with many overpriced souvenirs.
I like the food area of KaDeWe better in terms of selection and especially the lighting. The Moët & Chandon bar on the ground floor is a nice place to end your day because of the beautiful decor alone; you should treat yourself to a glass, especially because your credit card is very gentle.

Harrods – an iconic department store to visit. Located right in Knightsbridge, it impresses with its history and uniqueness. It was extremely crowded at Christmas time, the crowds pushed through the aisles, but that is probably part of it. Especially the chocolate department is a highlight – we took chocolate with us, which was really fantastic. If you like an extraordinary department store and hustle and bustle, you should definitely stop by. An experience!

Harrods is beautiful inside and outside. It is one of the most iconic stores in the world. It is a fun store to look around, that sells lots of things. I have been fortunate enough to visit here twice. I definitely recommend their food court, where they sell lots of delicious treats. Near the escalators, the directory will tell you what products are on each floor, but it is easy to get lost inside. That being said everything in the store is more expensive compared to other stores/shops in London. They increase the price for products (such as teddy bears, home décor, etc.) that contain Harrods name. If you'd like a souvenir from Harrods, be prepared to pay more. You could save a little bit of money if you find anything that is on sale. You can get a reusable clothe bag at check out for 5 pounds. I initially bought one with my Harrods mug but changed my mind since I already have so many reusable bags. I met a lovely gentlemen (I can't remember his name, Izzy maybe) working behind the counter near the book section (May 3rd, 2024 during the afternoon and evening) who was kind enough to refund me for the reusable bag. I wish him all the best with his career. He seems like a nice fellow who is capable of doing more (he had like two degrees or something).

Hey, Scott. If you're asking about Em Sherif in Harrod's, I would allow an hour and a half. It's such a great experience and you don't want to be in a hurry when you go here, plus it gets super busy. So, get there as early as you can for lunch. But you won't be disappointed, it's a fantastic restaurant with super nice people working here.

Does Harrods accept cash USD instead of pound?
Written 5 February 2023
My guess is yes. Harrods has it's own bank on the basement level, as I recall. I would assume they do or can make arrangements.

We're staying near Harrods at the moment and on Saturday afternoon and evening there were literally hundreds of young people, dressed up to the nines, hanging around outside and we just wondered what was going on? By the evening dozens of police had turned up which was a bit worrying and all the local shops had been told not to sell alcohol. Is this a regular thing??
